Intent: I have an FAQ that uses js to highlight words on the page by letter as you type. I need to ignore the HREF entries in the replace function as the injection of a class to highlight the typed letters/words replaced within the HREF messing up the link.
Incorrectly Ignoring position 18, 76, 141, 164
Correctly ignoring position 58, 104 and 201
Correctly finding position 227, 242";
RegexOptions options = RegexOptions.Multiline | RegexOptions.IgnoreCase;
foreach (Match m in Regex.Matches(input, pattern, options))
{
Console.WriteLine("'{0}' found at index {1}.", m.Value, m.Index);
